Week 7 Down!

Blogdate: 9/5

Workout: Yoga (Yoga Zone Evening Stress Relief for Beginners)

Yay! 7 Weeks down! I am so amazed at what I have been able to accomplish and I am half way to my 14 week goal!

After 6 straight days I did not feel like doing a full yoga class today. I'm sure I really needed it, though. I did one of my 20 minute Yoga Zone workouts instead and it felt really really great.

A few years ago, when I was just starting my yoga practice (such as it is), I bought a boxed set of yoga workouts off Overstock.com from Yoga Zone. This set contains 6 discs of 2 20 minute workouts each- all with a different focus: Power Yoga, Stress Relief, Flexibility, Core, Fat Burning & Total Body Conditioning. I was looking for something to supplement my cardio and strength multiple times a week that I wouldn't need to spend 40-60 minutes doing. This set fit the bill nicely.

These workouts- not quite the right word when discussing yoga- are so well done and non-intimidating. Even though they lean on the spiritual side if you are not careful they will make you a believer. They are beginner to beginner-intermediate in level, and modifications are shown to make them harder or easier. A solid introduction to yoga.

BTW- A lot of these are available streaming on Hulu! Hooray! Try them out...
